In case the passenger is not able to show the original Passport with valid visa, the passenger is treated as without ticket and charged penalty equivalent to 3 times the fare of the ticket and if passenger fails to pay the penalty, legal action will be taken against the passenger. Foreign tourists are allowed to register their demand up to 365 days in advance till the train is made open for booking as per Advance Reservation Period (ARP). The limit up to which the demand of foreign tourists is registered is as under: - Eight berths per FAC Four berths per FACCW Eight berths per 2A coach Ten seats per EC coach The demand is registered for all types of trains. The status on the ticket will be “Confirmed”. Coach/Seat/Berth Number will be allotted on the day of opening of reservation as per ARP except in case of First AC in which Coupe/Cabin is allotted at the time of preparation of first reservation charts. As on the day of registering of requests, no train exists in the system, the composition of the train on that date is taken into account for allowing the. number of berths/seats for which requests are registered e.g. beyond ARP, if there are 04 coaches of 2A in a train, then provision is made for registering 4x8 i.e. 32 passengers. In case on the day of opening of reservation as per नाथ. ARP, the number of coaches of that class varies, the number — of berths/passengers allowed to be.registered does not change. ix. If class itself doesn’t exist once ARP opens, passengers will have to be manually allotted berths/seats in another class by database operators as is being done presently. x. The last request being registered is honoured even if the limit above has to be © extended, however, beyond that no request is registered e.g. if the last request received is for 6 passengers and there is a scope for registering request for only 3 passengers, the above said limit is extended by 3 berths/seats to accommodate the last request.
